1ST Customer Purchase from referral triggers “live” Opportunity Date of 1st Referred Customer Purchase Referral with past 12 months Customer Opportunity is now “live” for 12 months – Referral fee applies during this period

20 Scenario 1: Customer signs to one year contract
In this example the Customer signs a one year contract and you are paid up front for the entire year- a total of $120 You are responsible only for one $12 payment to SFDC for the quarter the contract was signed $120 paid up front * 10% referral= $12 Customer Signs Contract for 1 year and pays you $120 Pay $12 to SFDC (Net 45) End of Quarter Feb 1 March 31 May 15

21 Scenario 2: Customer signs to one Year contract w/ Monthly payments
Your customer signs a ONE YEAR Contract and agrees to pay you on a monthly basis The contract is still for a one year term and you will pay SFDC only one payment of $12 for the Quarter the deal was closed $10 per month= $120 * 10% = $12 Customer Signs Contract for 1 year and pays you $10 (for Feb) Pay $12 to SFDC (Net 45) for total ACV Customer pays you $10 Customer pays you $10 Customer pays you $10 Feb 1 March 31 April 30 May 15 May 31

22 Scenario 3: Customer signs to one Quarter contract w/ Quarterly Payments
The customer initially signs a contract for a term of one quarter. They then extend your service for another quarter and finally renew for an entire year. The opportunity is alive for one year after signing the initial contract. This means that any renewal contracts are paid in the quarter they are renewed. The payment is always attributed to the quarter the contract is signed. In this example, the contract is renewed for one year but the opportunity is only alive for 6 more months. You would pay SFDC only half of the contract value for the six months remaining in the live opportunity. Customer Signs new contract for Q2 and pays you $30 Customer Signs new contract for One year starting Q3 and pays you $120 Customer Signs contract for Q1 and pays you $30 Pay $3 to SFDC (Net 45) for total Q1 ACV Pay $3 to SFDC (Net 45) for total Q2 ACV Pay $6 to SFDC (Net 45) for total Q3 ACV Q1 Q1 + 45 Q2 Q2 + 45 Q3 Q3 + 45

23 Scenario 4: Pay as you go Q1 Q2 + 45 Q2 Q2 + 45 Q3 Q3 + 45
The application uses a pay as you go model for example an marketing application where you pay per sent The customer pays you X per quarter and you pay SFDC 10% of X for that quarter Payments will always be made a quarterly basis for all customers who paid you during that quarter Pay $3 to SFDC (Net 45) for total Q1 ACV Pay $7 to SFDC (Net 45) for total Q3 ACV Pay $5 to SFDC (Net 45) for total Q2 ACV Customer pays you $30 for application Customer pays you $70 for Application Customer pays you $50 for Application Q1 Q2 + 45 Q2 Q2 + 45 Q3 Q3 + 45
